Is the established competition doing a good job? It's important to understand their strengths and weaknesses and think through how you'll stake up against those established businesses.

Learn from Others Who Are Already In This Space

If you are seriously contemplating launching an ecological engineering firm, it's essential that you learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby ecological engineering firms will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

Fortunately, somebody who runs an ecological engineering firm in a location that is not competitive to you will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where can you find an entrepreneur who is running an ecological engineering firm who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
